Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 30-32:
Lamarsh. The well-known family in Mersea Township, County of Essex, bearing the name Lamarsh is of French stock. The name was originally spelled La Marshe, but after the emigration to Canada it gradually came to be written generally Lamarsh.
     The first to come to America was Samuel La Marshe, a native France, who, on reaching manhood located in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Later he removed to Kingston, Ont., and still later to Amherstburg. His last location was Gosfield township, County of Essex, where he died...
     John Lamarsh, son of Samuel, the emigrant, was born in Kingston, Ont., and was brought to the County of Essex by his parents in 1801. They located at Fort Malden, now Amherstburg, and later removed to Gosfield township. He, too, played a soldier's part in the war of 1812, and after its close settled in Mersea township... His wife, Mary Ann Burke, was born in Quebec, a daughter of James Burke, of Ireland, whose wife was a Frenchwoman... To John and Mary Ann Lamarsh were born eleven children, as follows: ... John (2)...
     John Lamarsh (2), son of John, was born at the old home on Talbot street in 1821... John Lamarsh married Jane Gibson, a native of Northumberlandshire, England, who is still living on the homestead, and to this union were born fourteen children: ... Peter...
     Peter Lamarsh was born on his father's farm near Wheatley, Nov. 25, 1859, and remained at home with his parents, attending the public schools. When his father retired from farming he gave to Peter the north half of the farm, a tract of forty-seven acres, on which the latter built a house and good barns. There he has made his home, engaging most successfully in general farming and stock raising. He was the first importer of Duroc Jersey swine, which he bought in Philadelphia in 1889, and exhibited at the Toronto fair in 1891. Since then he has raised them in large numbers, shipping them all over the Dominion, as far east as Nova Scotia, and in the States to Rhode Island and elsewhere in New England. All his stock is thoroughbred, and he has made a careful study of all things pertaining to their successful and scientific care.
     Like all his family Peter Lamarsh has always been a staunch Liberal, and he has been, since casting his first vote, an earnest worker in his party. He was appointed by the government inspector of fisheries for the district comprising the Counties of Kent, Essex, Lambton and Elgin, and office he has filled to the credit of himself and the very great satisfaction of the public. In 1901 he was elected to the county council for Mersea township and Leamington district No. 4, and he was re-elected in 1903, a fact which attests well to his faithful care of the interests of his constituents. He is domestic in his tastes, and is devoted to his home and family. His character is upright, and he receives the merited esteem of all classes of people.
     In Mersea township, in September, 1884, Peter Lamarsh married Adelaid Lounsbury, daughter of Ephraim and and Emma J. (Cooper) Lounsbury, of Romney township, County of Kent. She is an active worker in the Methodist Church, and, while he is not a member of any denomination, Mr. Lamarsh ably and liberally seconds his good wife in all her church work. Six children have come to them, namely: Edgar, Herbert, Wiona, John, Evaline and Hume.
